Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 298

Justin finally turned around, but the look in his eyes was colder than ever.

Bianca felt like her heart was being stabbed. She thought, ‘Just as | thought. The only thing that gets his

attention is anything related to her.

‘How long has Elysia even been here? Does she really deserve this much? Why can’t he see what's right in front

of him?”

Seeing Bianca hesitate, Justin lost his patience. “So, are you gonna say something or not?”

Bianca asked, “What if | don’t want to?”

Hearing this, Justin turned back around, about to head inside. But Bianca's voice rang out again. “Hold it.”

Justin stopped in his tracks and turned back to face her, keeping a good distance between them. “So you're

gonna talk now?

Bianca continued, “If you stay that far away, someone might overhear us. If it affects Elysia’s reputation, I'm not

taking the blame.”

Justin took a few steps closer, but with each step, Bianca's heart ached more. It wasn’t for her-it was for Elysia.

He cared about anything related to Elysia that much.

“Go ahead,” Justin said. Bianca composed herself, suppressing her irritation. She thought, ‘Once he knows what

kind of person Elysia really is, everything will go back to how it used to be. He'll be that sJustin who shuts

everyone out.

Bianca began, “Yesterday, | saw Elysia at the school gate. Do you know who picked her up?”

Seeing Justin's brow furrow slightly, like he didn’t want to engage, she pressed on. “It was a really good-looking

guy, driving a luxury car. He looked a bit older than Elysia. What do you think their relationship is?”

“Elysia is pretty, but her family...” Bianca sneered, “Everyone knows she’s not really part of the Rosewood family.

The whole school was buzzing about it. But she’s back at our school now. Never mind anything else, how is she

paying the high tuition?

“She’s still from the countryside. With that poor background, how can they afford her tuition? Tell me, do you

think she’s being kept by someone?”

The words “being kept” hit Justin like a punch. He could no longer suppress his anger and slammed his fist into

the wall behind Bianca, his voice fierce. “If you dare say anything more, | won't let you off easy.”

Seeing his furious expression, Bianca's heart trembled. She had never seen Justin this angry before.

She forced herself to calm down, looking into his eyes and speaking cautiously, “Do you really like her that

much? Enough to throw everything else aside?”

When Justin didn’t respond, she recklessly continued, “Even if you won't admit it, what difference does it make? |

saw it with my own eyes. Elysia is being kept.” She emphasized the last sentence.

Justin's eyes turned red, and he spoke slowly and deliberately, “Bianca, you better watch yourself. Elysia isn't

that kind of person. If you dare to spread rumors, | won't forgive you.”

Bianca said, “Even now, you're still protecting her?”

“I'm not protecting her. I'm trusting her. Her heart is cleaner than yours.” With that, he pulled back his hand, re

visible blood on his knuckles. It was clear he had hit the wall with all his might.

Bianca's heart shook violently. She thought, ‘Who does he think he is, saying Elysia’s heart is cleaner than mine?

Why is he comparingto that scandalous woman? Does she even deserve it?"

Chapter 298

The coldness in Justin's eyes pierced Bianca, leaving her speechless. She stared at him, unable to react

Tears slid down her cheeks, but Justin ignored her, turning around and walking straight back into the classroom.

Their voices had been loud enough for the students inside to catch most of the conversation, but it was still

unclear what had happened.

Now, seeing Justin's bloodied hand and the chilling aura he exuded, the class was stunned. He was known for

being aloof, but he had never shown anger like this before.

Immediately, the students who had been whispering turned around, not daring to make a sound. The classroom

grew deathly quiet-an eerie silence.

Bianca stood outside for a long time, tears streaming down her face. She kept wiping them away, but her eyes

were cold enough to make anyone shudder.

‘I can't just let Elysia off the hook. It’s all because of her that Justin is treatinglike this, she thought,

clenching her fists tighter and tighter, the hatred in her eyes growing stronger,

She took out her phone and posted on the school forum using her secondary account, along with a secretly

taken photo at the school gate.

The man in the photo was blurred, but Elysia standing next to the luxury car, talking to him, was clear as day.

Just from the picture and the accompanying text, it was easy to stir up gossip.

The

post went viral in the school instantly.

[OP, is this for real?]

[This is insane. | never thought Elysia would be like this.]

[I was always wondering how someone from her background could afford school. Now it makes sense-she’s

being kept.]

[I used to think Elysia was cool. Never thought she'd stoop this low for money. Share this!]

The comments below were overwhelmingly negative, filled with insults and attacks on Elysia. More and more

students reposted it, making the situation worse.

When the students in Class 1 saw the post, they immediately understood why Justin had been so furious earlier.

He and Elysia were close, so finding out about this must have really hurt him.

“Justin, are you okay?” a female student asked nervously.

Justin didn’t say anything, just kept working on his problem, head down. The girl thought he was upset about

Elysia and added, “Justin, don’t be too upset. None of us expected Elysia to do something like this for money.”

Justin hadn't paid much attention at first, but something about the words felt off. He looked up at the girl. “What

do you mean?”

The girl waved her phone. “It’s about Elysia. The post is being shared like crazy on the forum. Pretty much

everyone knows by now.”

Justin took out his phone and opened the forum. The first thing he saw was the pinned post.

The content was straightforward but used the filthiest language, with every word as sharp as a blade, piercing

painful.

Most importantly, there was a picture attached. The man’s face was blurred, but Elysia was clearly visible,

standing next to a luxury car. Whoever posted it must have been afraid the man would clooking if things got

out of hand.

As he scrolled through the comments, the coldness in Justin's eyes deepened. His pupils narrowed, and his grip

on the phone tightened.

He stood up and strode over to Bianca's desk, slamming the phone down in front of her. His voice was laced with

anger. “Did you do this?”
